Fauxtato

Fauxtato is a compound that shares characteristics with potatoes, but is made of non-potato substances. This Potato Pretender, or "Potender" as it is also called, is often prepared and served like normal, "Idaho" potatoes, such as in mashed, baked, and home fries. Fauxtato is made from a variety of substances, most commonly tofu or cauliflower. Fauxtato is rising in popularity thanks to the Atkins Diet, as it is low, or void of carbohydrates.
